Live Action founder and president Lila Rose spoke<\/a> to the Catholic crowd of 50,000 at the National Eucharistic Congress on July 18, sharing her story of converting to Catholicism and inspiring Christians to trust God and ask Him to use them to do His work.<\/p>\n

Rose spoke about her experience as a teen reading about St. Joan of Arc. Inspired by the saint, Rose asked God to tell her how she could live for Him as St. Joan did. It was around this same time, said Rose, that she learned about abortion, which she called “the greatest human rights crisis of our day.”<\/p>\n

“[A]s I discovered more about the problem of abortion as a young teen, I began to pray this prayer to our Lord Jesus: ‘Lord, use me. Use me to do something to save lives. Use me.’ It’s a very dangerous prayer to ask God, all powerful God, to use us tiny little creatures for His will because, guess what? He will do it. He will allow us to be part of His plan. That is how good our God is. We give Him a little inch… and He will transform our lives.”<\/p>\n
